person and two dogs on grass hill
L-R: me, Goldy, Hunter: Goldy and Hunter are ‘Rez dogs’. Their owners live near the Lodge. The dogs hang out at the Lodge all Summer. The 1.5 million acre Blackfeet Nation surrounds the Lodge and borders the Park.

Simple things are timeless.

Rest.

Reflection.

Restoration.

The photo: Late afternoon. Warm. Calm. Peaceful. Goldy and Hunter were napping. So i joined them. Cheryl was watching a wedding on the Lodge’s backside (the side facing the Park’s mountains).

mountain lake
No shortage of water here. It’s glacier water, but it’s still water.

Coaches are asked to do a second thing that is actually a separate job.

Coaches show how to do things and why all things interconnecting is critical for peak results.

That space is called teaching.

However, what clients also want from the teacher is motivation.

This is the paradox.

Learning, and then knowing, is opposite from deeply wanting to apply new learning and knowledge.

And there’s the rub.

You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink.

A great coach teaches a horse to find water on its own.

Yet we’re still left with this: The horse might not drink when we lead it to water. The horse might not drink after it finds water on its own.

Conundrum.

My goal with my chronic habits is to:

  • Think clearly
  • Sleep peacefully
  • Move slowly
  • Live quietly
  • Shine light

No brakes

Apple Watch fitness app screen
Today’s walk. Also completed the traditional no-gym gym workout.

No brakes or no breaks?

No brakes means rolling down the highway with no brakes. Dangerous. Risky. Dumb.

It also means, to me, no brakes for living life to the fullest. Obviously subjective, and, decently inspiring.

i’m rolling down the next phase of the highway of life…

With no brakes.

Lovin’ it, too, by the way.

Finally, no breaks?

Yes, and…

Lining up a series of major “breaks” in life.

The next serious break in life happens in 11 days.

Not intending to “stick the landing” by April Fools Day.

Why?

Life goes on. The final, command decision, with years of consideration, happened kinda last minute. Perhaps less than a month ago.

How long do you plan for?

Apple watch
During this 3-hour excursion, walked seven miles. There were stops (clock keeps ticking) along the way for pull-ups, planks, dips, animal observations. The no-gym gym workout took an additional 20-30 minutes before leaving home to walk.

While walking this morning, thought of friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors who’ve committed to an exercise regime.

At least a 40-year observation.

And then some questions reflexively began, effortlessly:

  1. How long do you plan to exercise?
  2. How long do you plan to eat better?
  3. How long do you plan to get better rest?

There’s only one smart, over-focused answer.

i don’t even need to say it.
